Methodology based on Benefits given to Farmers in PMKSY

First of all let us know about what type of land owners come in this category of PMKSY Scheme. Actually a person is said to be a farmer when his family have a husband, wife and some minor child and also have fertile land for which irrigation is ready in any state and union territories. The land must not belong to any institutional organisation and the owner of that land must not belong to any government body or any corporations. Now here we come to the point which would be beneficial for the farmers who come in this category as mentioned above. So check out some benefits below:

All the benefits are to be paid to the former families who have cultivable land with the single owner itself. No one else would be allowed to get benefits like this.

All the benefits will be given to those who will get ownership of cultivable land after the natural death of the landowner. And no benefits would be provided if the cultivable land ownership has changed before 1st of February 2020.

After the same date as mentioned above, a farmer would get these benefits for 5 years.
